Online websites are beginning to understand that one way to increase traffic and attract new visitors is to publish a free iPhone application. The latest iPhone app from Mint.com allows a user to keep track of their finances while on the go.

One reason many people don’t like to carry financial applications like Mint.com’s on their mobile phone is because of the security risk if their phone is lost. That’s not a problem for the Mint.com application. That’s because a user can simply activate or deactivate which iPhone can access the website at their leisure.

Mint.com picked a good time to come out with an iPhone app like this as people are very budget minded these days considering the economy. An application like this puts the power of a person’s finances literally in the palm of their hand.
